Gana used to work on the slopes out west in Colorado, and she brought this hat to our writing group as part of a conversation about items in our homes that hold special stories.

It looks fantastic on her, doesn’t it? So many memories and stories packed into one little hat!

Our After Hours Chorus meets every week, and during December it transforms into weekly Christmas karaoke with singers from throughout the building. 🎶🎄 Before tucking our holiday music away for a long winter’s nap, we sang a few favorite songs and ended the afternoon with a beautiful rendition of “Silent Night.”

So much fun was had visiting apartments dressed for the holidays! We had 10 invitations, and yes—there was a plate of goodies in each home. There were 12+ friends participating in the tour, spending about eight minutes at each location. New stories were shared among friends, which always made everyone feel a bit closer. Merry Christmas!
